Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The rise and fall of American Art Deco coincide neatly with the brief, but glorious, heyday of the Chase Brass & Copper Co.s Specialty division. Gleaming Chase housewares of chrome, brass, and copper brightened many homes during the Depression years of the 1930s, thanks to the talents of such leading industrial designers as Lurelle Guild, Walter Von Nessen, Russel Wright, and Harry Laylon. The Chase Era presents in full the companys first (1933) and final (1942) Specialties catalogs, illustrating the development of Deco design as represented by the Chase inventory. Also included are newly discovered pre-1933 Chase flyers, showing previously unseen Chase Specialties! Introductory comments focus on the whys and wherefores of Art Decos short reign, and the place of Chase in the Deco continuum. With a current price guide and full inventory information, The Chase Era truly provides the first and last words on Chase Specialties.
From the Author
"The Chase Era" is the final entry in our four-book series on the Art Deco giftware items produced by the Chase Brass & Copper Co. The 1933 and 1942 catalogs reproduced in this volume illustrate and contrast the types of chrome, brass, and copper decorative items Chase was creating at both the beginning and end of its giftware production years. My co-author Leslie Pina and I were particularly pleased to include in this book a number of photos of previously undocumented Chase pieces. We hope you'll find the book a fitting tribute to one of Deco's prominent manufacturers, and a worthwhile conclusion to our series! --Donald-Brian Johnson--
